Vertical Carousel – VStore™
This is the most modern and cost-efficient Storage and Retrieval system for today’s industry. Vertical Carousel Systems offer a number of benefits compared to conventional racking system. The most significant advantage being, it uses the complete available height for storage and yet retrieves material automatically to the operator’s hand-reach level.
Vertical Storage Carousels work on a simple Paternoster principle. The storage racks are suspended into two vertical chain loops which are electrically driven. The complete mechanisms enclosed by sheet metal cladding. Only one window is provided at an ergonomic level for easy loading and unloading of material. Further, the entire mechanism is provided by PLC controller, which facilitates material retrieval by a particular shelf number or part number. The system can also be interfaced with the central inventory management system or ERP through our state of the art software interface which also can control the entire operations of the machine. In addition, the system also provides for operations option through a PLC controller or a manual mode.

Advantages
The tables below are a representative matrix of Vertical Carousels based on standard sizes and load baring capacities. All our products are built to meet your specific requirements in terms of available space, the weight of products and type of products
Smooth Operation
The system ensures jerk-free movement even at the start-stop operations due to VFD (Variable Frequency Drive), avoiding damage to the stored material. Special technology for smooth engagement/ disengagement of moving parts ensures noise level well below 70 db.
Safe and Secure
The curtain sensors at the material retrieval window stop the system in case the material is protruding outside the tray or if an operator tries to access the shelf while it is running. Locking provision for the entire system and emergency stop switch provide further safety.
Low Power Consumption
The system operates on single phase or three phase supply of 230 Volts and draws 10 Amp current. Specially developed energy efficient power management of Tech-Mark systems ensures further power saving.
Power Backup (Optional)
Single phase UPS provision for operating the system in case of power failure. Can also be operated manually.
Quick Installation
Our large manufacturing capacity allows shorter delivery periods. No special provisions are required on site such as pits/foundation and hence, this modular system can also be installed quickly on site.
Quick Retrieval of Material
The automated system increases the number of pickups per shift, effectively reducing manpower engagement. Typically, this system is nearly 80% more efficient than conventional storage.
Optimum Space Utilisation
Effective use of optimum height results in floor space saving upto 80%.
User Friendly
Even an unskilled person with a little training can very effectively use the Carousel Storage Systems. In case of power failure, it can be operated manually. Routine maintenance requires only oiling and greasing, which can be carried out easily by quickly removing the side covers.
Operations @ a Click
The bundled software ensures all parts, documents can be retrieved at the click of a mouse from anywhere. Easy interfacing functionality of our software with existing systems makes the systems really integrated.
Manpower Saving
Less manpower engagement compared to conventional stores.
